Yep, Spotify is impresive IMHO. Just how did you check the bitrate?


Just had a network monitoring tool hanging on the computer - it was
flatlining at about 384 (394 was a typo) all the way through a song.
Spotify is a no-buffering service so you don't get bursts of full
speed.

Ahh, ok, I wondered if that was what you had done. Spotify is a p2p app,
so you will be having data going out as well as going in, the traffic is
not just for your use.

That would only make sense if somebody was listening absolutely
synchronously with me (to some early John Mayall, I think). I doubt
very much if that was happening.
